Riot in Poland after cop kills football fan during match (VIDEO)

Some 200 people rioted and clashed with law enforcers on Saturday night in southern Poland as a football fan died after getting wounded by a rubber bullet. A crowd had wanted to interrupt a match between two local teams prompting police response.

The city of Knurow was hosting a match between two local teams on
Saturday - Concordia (Knurów) and Ruch (Radzionkow). During the
game, a brawl between the fans descended into the pitch as stones
and fires were pelted from the benches.

As the referee stopped the game, around 50 people invaded the
stadium, according to TVN24.

Police opened fire fearing further clashes between the rival
groups, police spokesman Andrzej Goose said. A rubber bullet
wounded one of the fans into the neck. The 27-year-old was taken
to hospital where he died several hours later.

At around 23 pm local time (21 GMT) football fans began
assembling near the hospital, reports RMF 24. This grew into
clashes with law enforcers guarding the hospital entrance. Some
fans had Molotov cocktails, said police spokesman Mark Slomski.

Fourteen police were injured in the clashes, reports TVN24.
Following the attack, the rioters dispersed. Since then several
people have been detained, while police continue searching for
the attackers.

Knurow in southern Poland is home to some 40,000 people,
according to a 2006 census.
